Testimonials

For over 20 years, Jorge Molina has been sharing South America's best dove hunting with friends and traveling sportsmen. In 2001, Jorge and his wife Karin opened up what would become Bolivia's most renowned and prestigious dove hunting lodge - Los Palomas - just 90 minutes east of Santa Cruz. The lodge, the cuisine and the service receive the highest praise from hunters and professional critics alike.
Dove hunting in Bolivia means NO-LIMIT ultra high-volume shooting. Each April, our immediate area is overcome by eared dove and picazuro pigeons numbering in the tens of millions. The birds feed on our vast expanse of sorghum, sunflower and soy fields until November. During this time, the bird hunting is absolutely electrifying...something that needs to be experienced to be believed.
In the spring of 2001, we opened our luxury Bolivian hunting lodge - Las Palomas - just 90 minutes east of Santa Cruz. The lodge, the cuisine and the service receive the highest praise from hunters and professional critics alike.

The Bolivia Hunting Experience (April 01 - October 31)

Bolivia is considered one the world’s finest dove hunting destinations – rivaling, and often surpassing, the shooting in Cordoba, Argentina.

Our guests enjoy short drives to the birds. Sometimes this means hunting dove just outside our front gate. Overall, drive times from the lodge to the birds average 20-25 minutes…maximum drive times 45 55 minutes on rare occasions.

Guests enjoy both morning and afternoon dove hunts. At noon, hunters can either return to the lodge for lunch and a siesta or they can stay in the field for an elaborate churrasco BBQ featuring dove dishes and fine grilled meats. Hunters can rest in the hammocks provided before returning to the field for the afternoon hunt.

In the field, hunters are assigned an assistant, who provides shells and refreshments.

After the day’s hunt, guests return to the lodge for cocktails and a gourmet dinner.

Typical Bolivia dove hunting itineraries include an afternoon hunt on day of arrival, two to three full days and a morning hunt on the day of departure (shooting schedules can be custom-built).

Gourmet regional and international cuisine, open bar, traditional asados (BBQ) and delicious desserts.

"Every thing about this trip was world class. We Southerners pride ourselves on our hospitality but I can truly say the staff of Bolivian Adventurers was the most gracious hosts I have ever experienced. Karin’s gourmet meals and constant attention were excellent. Your vigilance in making sure that all of us were pampered, as well as your eye for the details that make such a trip so dayum fantastic. Your shooting advice and willingness to teach is appreciated. Every morning and evening hunt provided a memory of wing shooting that every outdoors person needs to experience at least once in their life. I hope to experience Las Palomas Lodge several more times as Lewis and I work through our” bucket list."

Jorge Molina has to be the best outfitter in the world and his wife must be the best cook! The lodge is fantastic, the volume and variety of of shooting is just amazing, and it is only a six hour flight from Miami!"
